819 (1219 mm) on each side of the wall or walls and there are no openings
820 or penetrations in the roof within 4 feet (1219 mm) of the common walls
821 3 A parapet is not required where roof surfaces adjacent to the wall or walls
822 are at different elevations and the higher roof is more than 30 inches (762
823 mm) above the lower roof The common wall construction from the lower
